Potatoes Romanoff

Another great make ahead recipe from my friend Irm. A delicious side dish perfect for a special occasion or family meal. This is my version of her recipe.

• 5 lbs of potatoes, Yukon gold is recommended but I used White potatoes
• salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cups sour cream (may use low fat)
• a bit of milk to thin out if necessary
• 1-1/2 cup of grated  aged cheddar, divided 

1. In a large pot add the peeled and cubed potatoes and cook in salted water until soft enough to mash. 
2. Add the butter and sour cream and a little milk to make your potatoes smooth and creamy as you mash them.
3. Mix in 1 cup of grated cheese and black pepper. 
4. Transfer to a greased casserole dish large enough to hold the potatoes. 
5. Top with remaining cheese. 
6. Refrigerate overnight. Bake covered at 350 for 25 minutes. 
7. Uncover and cook another 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. 
8. May top with a sprinkling of paprika and bit of chopped green onion on top for serving.

Very good served with BBQ steak or chicken.
